What I\u2019ve been doing instead of blogging lately is getting ready for school \u2014 organizing the house, buying books, writing up the calendar. \u00a0No, this is not one of those posts where I explain that this is the very best method and your children will rot if they do something else.<\/p>\n

\u2013> FYI If you\u2019re also posting your non-hubris-laden plans and I don\u2019t regularly read your blog (or I fail to read it this one time), you can tweet it to me @JenFitz_Reads.<\/p>\n

If you don\u2019t want to read about every single book we\u2019re using, skip down to the math story at the bottom. \u00a0People who homeschool will especially appreciate the magnitude of the pending Saul-on-his-way-to-Tarsus thing that happened.<\/p>\n

The Boy, 10th Grade<\/h2>\n

Core Classes<\/h3>\n

He\u2019s enrolled in Kolbe Academy\u2019s online school<\/a> for everything core-academics except science. To my pleasant surprise he asked to take Latin I, so he\u2019s switching languages (last year was French I). \u00a0We\u2019re super happy with the decision to go with Kolbe for him, it\u2019s a good fit. \u00a0For science this year he\u2019s going to take some computer programming courses, per his goal of getting some IT certifications under his belt. \u00a0He\u2019ll pick back up with the lab sciences at Kolbe or the local community college for junior and senior years.<\/p>\n

The Fabulous Exciting Economics Class<\/h3>\n

We\u2019re doing a 1-semester-credit economics course with some friends, meeting once a week over the course of the year. \u00a0It\u2019ll cover personal finance (Dave Ramsey version<\/a>), then traditional Econ 101 via Compass Media\u2019s Basic Economics<\/em><\/a>. \u00a0Neither of those programs are themselves Catholic, but you can count on me to insert necessary commentary to adjust as needed. \u00a0We\u2019ll wrap up with a survey of what I think are the big encyclicals you need a working familiarity with (starting with\u00a0Rerum<\/em>\u00a0and ending with\u00a0Laudato,<\/em> big surprise).<\/p>\n

Going along with that is a debate-club portion of the class. \u00a0Kids will start by working through\u00a0The Fallacy Detective<\/em><\/a> and warming up their arguing skills that way. \u00a0Second half of the year they\u2019ll prepare a couple of debate pieces. \u00a0Some of the debaters aren\u2019t in the econ class, but for those who are, they can use their debate topics as research reports for a component of the economics class.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m so stinking excited about this class. \u00a0More fun than anyone should be allowed to have on a Friday.<\/p>\n

Electives<\/h3>\n

The boy\u2019s continuing with piano and classical choral for fine arts, and a combination of outdoor sports (mountain biking, hiking, general fitness) for PE. \u00a0We don\u2019t count shooting sports in PE, but that\u2019s just so that administrators don\u2019t faint when they see it on the transcript. \u00a0Auto Upkeep<\/a> is on his to-do list as a parent-mandated prerequisite for a\u00a0driver\u2019s license, but the parents have no required time frame, so it might not be this year.<\/p>\n

The Girls, 8th, 6th, and 4th Grades<\/h2>\n

Language Arts<\/h3>\n

All three girls are using Language of God from CHC<\/a> for their grammar and composition. \u00a0We used this last year, and the workbook format is very handy for me for recordkeeping. \u00a0I like the way CHC\u2019s textbooks integrate the faith: Catholicism-as-normal-life. (The old Voyages in English had the same merit \u2014 I liked that one, too, no complaints, we just needed to transition to workbooks for ease of use.)<\/p>\n

6th and 4th graders are using My Catholic Speller from CHC<\/a>, which wins points with me for including words like \u201cmonstrance\u201d and \u201ctransubstantiation\u201d on the spelling lists. \u00a0In the older grades the spelling words are written in cursive, which is either good practice or the bane of your existence, depending on whether your child can read that stuff. \u00a0I vote \u201cgood practice.\u201d<\/p>\n

They are also both doing MCP Plaid Phonics<\/a>, which has been a longtime winner around here. I like the way it takes words apart in 7,000 different directions. \u00a0Word Surgery is a subject, in my book.<\/p>\n

For handwriting my 6th grader is finishing up Cheerful Cursive<\/a>\u00a0(I liked this very much), and then following with CHC\u2019s Handwriting Level 4<\/a>, which doubles as my consolation for the fact that the girls won\u2019t have any formal Latin going on this year. \u00a0(They get their share at Mass, though, so their brains won\u2019t completely melt in one year.) \u00a04th grader is doing an intro to cursive with CHC\u2019s Handwriting Level 3<\/a>. \u00a0What sold me on switching first-year cursive programs was that CHC\u2019s book has goofy riddles in them.<\/p>\n

Social Studies<\/h3>\n

All three girls are continuing with\u00a0Faith and Life.<\/a>\u00a0<\/em>Of course. \u00a0The younger two are doing the sadly out-of-print\u00a0Bible Story Workbook<\/em><\/a>\u00a0which is just plain fun and pleasant, and Map Skills<\/i><\/a> for geography.<\/p>\n

8th grader is using MTF\u2019s<\/a> The History of the Church<\/a>\u00a0<\/i>for her history book. \u00a0True story: We had decided to keep working through The Catholic Textbook Project\u2019s history series<\/a>, which we like very much, but when I went to file my paperwork I completely forgot we had agreed on that. \u00a0We already owned the MTF book so it was in front of my face, and I\u2019d been thinking she really needed a good Church History course, so I wrote it down on the forms.\u00a0 She\u2019s resumed speaking to me, so it\u2019s okay.<\/p>\n

The two younger girls are unschooling literature, because I have trouble with them reading all the \u201cliterature\u201d selections ahead of time. \u00a0Good problems. \u00a08th Grader is doing CHC\u2019s\u00a0The Secret Code of Poetry<\/a>. \u00a0<\/em>It looks promising. \u00a0We have an attitude problem at our house concerning poetry, and I\u2019m hoping this can be the year we fix that.<\/p>\n

Science<\/h3>\n

8th Grader is continuing with CHC\u2019s middle school Life Science text<\/a>, which we did half of last year (she had some other science things going on to, get up off your fainting couch). \u00a0We\u2019ve had good luck with getting together with friends to do the labs, so I\u2019ve got two lab-weeks penciled in, one for fall, one for spring.<\/p>\n

Because our science-friends have a 6th grader doing Behold and See 6<\/em><\/a>, our 6th grader is doing it too. \u00a0That\u2019s the reason. \u00a0But it\u2019s a beautiful book and I do like it. \u00a0The book is divided into three units, and we\u2019re doing them out of order. \u00a0We\u2019ll start with Unit 1, physical science, then skip ahead to Unit 3, astronomy, because it\u2019s easier to do astronomy labs when it\u2019s winter and it gets dark early. \u00a0Then we\u2019ll go back to Unit 2 (habitats-n-animals-n-stuff) in the spring, which is when it\u2019s nicer to go to the zoo.<\/p>\n

4th grader has a co-op science class, and I think we have a couple science books she hasn\u2019t read yet. \u00a0This is why God ordained that there should be libraries, because one science book a year is not enough, she says. \u00a0Give me another one, she says.<\/p>\n

Also: Everybody Always Does a Science Project That Is The Law. \u00a0SuperHusband has made no firm dictate on this year\u2019s plans, but he\u2019s eminently predictable, so I say February sees us studying Physical Science, again. \u00a0Life Science projects take too long, we need things that can be studied in exactly six hours on a Saturday before the Science Fair on Tuesday. \u00a0I should start looking around now for deals on double-sided tape for Mad Monday, when all the displays get made.<\/p>\n

Other Stuff, Not Counting Math<\/h3>\n

All three girls are in strings (violin, viola, cello), eldest does classical choir too. \u00a0(So again, not entirely Latin-deprived). \u00a0Older girls\u2019 co-op is going to include some assorted fine arts, a book club, and I forget what else. Good fun things.<\/p>\n

They are all participating in varying amounts of volleyball; the youngest has also taken to going on a bike ride with me every day, and she\u2019s going to have PE in her weekly co-op, too. \u00a0Hiking kicks in wherever volleyball doesn\u2019t.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m going to have to suppress the craft factory so we can get school done (my children have a bad habit of sneaking away from their books in order to pursue their PhD\u2019s in Pinterestology.) \u00a0But in the meantime, the knock-off American-Girl-Sized dolls are getting school uniforms, new backpacks, and textbooks with calico covers.<\/p>\n

Math. \u00a0Oh Math.<\/h3>\n

Okay so this really crazy thing happened about math. \u00a0I\u2019ve been perfectly happy with Math-U-See for many years. \u00a0I like the way it teaches concepts, I like the scope and sequence, I like the materials. \u00a0I had every intention of continuing with it.<\/p>\n

Then I was ordering my books, and MUS\u2019s server was malfunctioning. So I was delayed in placing my order.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, we\u2019d already planned to hire a Math Assistant, because this is our weakest subject. \u00a0It\u2019s the area where kids have the most resistance and parents have the least enthusiasm (see a pattern there?), and we\u2019d determined that an Outside Force would be crucial to\u00a0meeting our goals for the year. \u00a0Our fantabulous find was a willing homeschool mom (kids now grown) who was game for some part-time work.<\/p>\n

She\u2019d done Saxon with her kids, but we both agreed that math is math so it didn\u2019t matter all that much.<\/p>\n

Saxon. \u00a0Dreaded Saxon. Fearsome Saxon. \u00a0Crazy Saxon. \u00a0Everybody Loves\/Hates Saxon.<\/p>\n

And while I was waiting for MUS\u2019s server to begin behaving, I grabbed a rosary and went for a walk, and ended up with Saxon On My Mind. \u00a0I\u2019m not sure whether that counts as a distraction to prayer or the kind of penance you\u2019re only allowed to undertake with a spiritual director\u2019s supervision.<\/p>\n

So I came home when it started raining, and surfed around, looking at Saxon. \u00a0Disadvantages:<\/p>\n

    \n
  • Being a crazy curriculum-changer when you\u2019re already happy with existing program.<\/li>\n
  • Higher marginal cost, since with MUS I\u2019d only need student workbooks, whereas with Saxon I\u2019d need to also pick up the answer keys and stuff.<\/li>\n
  • It\u2019s sorta busy. Manically busy.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    Advantages:<\/p>\n

      \n
    • The intensity of practice and the spiral-approach were well-suited to the particular math goals we had for this year. \u00a0Which is to say, This Is The Year of Math, Be Silent You Who Want More Latin!<\/li>\n
    • I could get in Saxon\u2019s sadistic idea of \u201cone lesson\u201d the amount and types of practice that we would have been compiling from MUS plus supplements-n-stuff.<\/li>\n
    • Our Math Assistant would be on familiar ground.<\/li>\n
    • I could order the books from one of several vendors I\u2019ve used happily in the past,\u00a0since Saxon is sold via distributors.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      My children held a flash-mob protest when I said the S-word, because of course they\u2019ve heard all the tales. \u00a0They are homeschoolers, they are not sheltered from the dark secrets of the textbook world. \u00a0But I managed to quell the seething masses and persuade the opinion leader (8th grader) in time to hit \u201csubmit order.\u201d<\/p>\n

      So it\u2019s done. \u00a0We\u2019ll see how it goes when the books get here.<\/p>\n
